Cyclea peltata is a shrub belongs to Menispermiaceae family and is commonly known as “Pedal” or “Pada thalli”. The plant has been used since ancient times in traditional medicine as a healing herb for the treatment of various ailments such as skin infections, wounds, antipyretic, diuretic, diabetes, asthma, jaundice and snakebite poisoning. The objective of the present study was to characterize the active phytochemical constituents present in the aqueous, methanolic and n-hexane, dichloromethane, nbutanol, water fractions of methanolic extracts of C. peltata. To analyse the potent bioactive compounds, present in the extracts and fractions, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy was used. The qualitative phytochemical screening unveiled the presence of steroids, alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins in aqueous extract and alkaloids, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins in methanolic extract. The fractions of C. peltata showed the presence of alkaloids, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins. The Infrared Spectroscopy profiling showed the presence of alcohols, phenols, amines, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ketones, alkenes, alkanes and aromatic compounds. From the study, it is concluded that the bioactive compounds present in the extracts and fractions of C. peltata was alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids and terpenoids which is responsible for the diverse pharmacological properties.
